    Thank you to our stylist, Maryam and her instructor for bringing my mama's hair back to life! They were patient and helped her find out exactly what she wanted and turned it into a reality. Everyone in the salon is super friendly and welcoming, from reception, to stylists in training, to the instructors. I have no doubt this school will produce wonderfully talented stylists. I will definitely be bringing her back next time she's in town. Thank you, Temple Annapolis!

    What we got
    Annah S.

    DO NOT GO HERE!! My husband went last week to get a haircut and a perm at the school. We sent them a photo of exactly what he wanted in advance and even sent a video of a tutorial on how to do it. The student was following his request and brought the instructor to provide some guidance. Despite telling them not cut the back short (he said it like 10 times), the instructor told the student to shave the back part off without even letting him know. On top of that, the perm came out horrendous, nothing like what he asked for and got a nice wash after the perm which made the top flat and the rest still curly at the end. This took 4 hours and at the end still had to pay for it. I called the school afterwards to talk to the director and all she said was too bad and their policy says no refund. Management and staff are unprofessional and we'll never go back here again period.

    I have been going here for about 3 months . The teachers are amazing . They take a lot of time with all the students to make sure they understand what they are doing . What I like the most is they make sure they believe in themselves . Rebecca Dom did her first highlights on me and they turned out amazing . My hairdresser for 10 years even complimented on them as did many of my friends . Anastasia is amazing and definitely an asset to your business

    Complete mess.
    Lauren R.

    Went in for a simple cut and left with a mess. Said light layers and about an inch off. The instructor came around twice and examined my hair after and thought what was done was acceptable. This student was month 8 out of 10. Not sure what they are teaching them here.

    Happy 1st time

    I got my makeup artist license from the Chesapeake School of Makeup Artistry in Annapolis back in…read more2001 or 2002. Since then it has moved (to Arnold) and expanded to become the Chesapeake School of Esthetics. The program was excellent and in fact I moved from Minnesota to Maryland to get my makeup artist license from CSMA. At the time the school was a one woman operation, with Betty J Wilder acting as admissions office and instructor. According to the website there is now at least one other staff member onboard. I attended the 40 Hour Makeup Demonstrators Program. We met once or twice a week and the program was completed in about two months. We learned about color theory, face types, skin undertones, makeup applications, and good sanitation practices. I also took a one day followup seminar on photography makeup. Betty is an invaluable resource when it comes to knowing about people, trends, and companies in the beauty business. She is kind, friendly, approachable and absolutely hilarious!! She also introduced me to Paula Begoun's books and debunked many skincare myths (see my review of Paula's Choice skincare: http://www.yelp.com/biz/paulas-choice-renton-2#hrid:TB6hGsxic3s0_7YlZANAug/src:self). My class was maybe ten people at the most, which ensured every student got as much attention and information as they needed. Students ranged from people just interested in cosmetics to people already working as makeup artists. The final exam involved a written test and makeup application demonstration. Though the makeup artist license is not a full cosmetology or aesthetician license, I learned alot, it helped me get a job with two cosmetic lines, and I still get a discount at Sally's Beauty Supply! I highly recommend this program for someone solely interested in makeup, and not hair, nails, waxing, or skincare. Just be aware of the limitations of the license, as many salons will probably prefer someone with a full license. This program currently costs $980. I can't say much about the 600 Hour Skin Care and Makeup Artistry Program as Betty was just getting the esthetics program started when I was at CSMA. According to the website, the program runs for twenty weeks, enrollment is limited to eight students, and the course includes lecture/theory and hands on labs. Topics covered include: Facial and Body Treatments, Facial Massage, Skin Analysis, Hair Removal, Makeup Application, Skin Care Equipment , Color Analysis, and Retails Skills. The cost is $8,750. There are not many schools or programs like this in the country (believe me, I looked at almost all the possibilities) so if this is your specific area of interest, I highly recommend the Chesapeake School of Esthetics. See the website for more details: http://www.education-csma.com.

Betty is extremely knowledgeable and an all around great person to work with. The curriculum is great and I felt 100% prepared to take my state boards with confidence. When I was attending, Betty had a 100% pass rate for the state board testing, which is a statistic that shows how much she puts into her school. After I graduated, I passed my state boards and proceeded on to work in a spa for about 2 years. I just recently ended up being offered my dream job in the cosmetics industry and I have to thank Betty because without this amazing school I would not be where I am today.

I called several times, but no one answered. Finally, someone picked up, and I told the receptionist I had booked a hair appointment for 3/12 at 5:30pm, which included my daughter. I also mentioned that I left a comment section requesting that we both get our hair done. The receptionist said okay and claimed she noted it for both of us on 3/12 at 5:30pm. On 3/12, my daughter and I arrived for services. The receptionist only recorded my daughter's appointment and I told her I was also getting my hair done. I explained I called to confirm and reminded her that my daughter is owed a trim from the last paid service. She looked confused, so I asked if she understood what I was saying and showed her proof from the previous receipt with the manager on duty's signature. About ten minutes later, I voiced my concern to the manager on duty. She said it was okay, and I could still get my hair done, then she went to the back. While waiting in the area, I talked with other clients in the waiting area. The manager came out and said she heard there was some controversy and that no one could request a student because this is a school and all students need to have a chance. She then asked to speak with me outside. First, she accused me of being irate with the receptionist-- which was untrue. If asking questions makes me irate, then I was. If she takes an innocent question as irritation, that's her issue, not mine, and I don't feel guilty. Second, she claimed I posted a bad review online, which was false. If I disliked the service, I wouldn't have returned. I then asked her to show me the negative review she says I wrote. She came back and said the student left but she saw the review herself, which is now gone. It was never there because I never wrote it, ma'am. If I did, then it's clear she can't handle criticism. Not everyone is a good stylist. If someone feels they didn't get good service, they have a right to write their truth, and the manager should accept it and move on. The third false claim was that I said I didn't want certain stylists to do my hair because they were playing with my hair and did a poor job. I told her that was another lady, not me, and I detailed these accusations-- three in total--and I am offended. She then tried to change the language and said she was just asking questions, but those were outright accusations without proof. Throughout the conversation, one of her focused on professionalism. But what professionalism did she display when she was constantly accusing me? The worst part is that she doesn't think she was wrong. To the manager, For the record, ma'am, I don't need any services from this school. There are other hair schools and salons nearby. I didn't do any of the things you allege I did. I am writing this review today because this experience was well deserved (no stars if I could). You are not a professional. The receptionist is upset because I told you what happened, and you and she fabricated stories--saying I was irate, that I posted a bad review, and that I said someone was playing in my hair and did a bad job. Girl, bye! There are better places out here with better customer service.

    My recent experience as a client at your cosmetology school was unfortunately disappointing,…read moreprimarily due to a lack of professionalism and customer service from one of your students and the front desk staff. As a former cosmetology student myself, I understand the importance of both technical skill and client interaction. During my appointment, the student assigned to me seemed to be having a difficult day. She initially called out the wrong name, mistaking me for my goddaughter who I had previously brought in for services. When this was corrected, it became clear my service was not properly listed under my name. The student then appeared confused when I stated I was there for a color service. When I suggested she double-check with the front desk, she abruptly walked away, stating, "I don't want to do her hair. I want someone else." This was unprofessional and frankly, quite shocking. What was equally concerning was the response from the front desk when I attempted to address the situation. Instead of listening to my legitimate concerns, I was met with a closed mind and told I was "being disrespectful." I was surprised and offended by this dismissal, as I was simply trying to explain the situation calmly and respectfully. As a client, and someone who understands the industry, I would never intentionally be disrespectful. It felt as though my experience was being minimized and my character questioned without a fair hearing. I believe instructors are aware of which students may have difficulties, and it's crucial for the school to foster an environment where professionalism and respectful communication are consistently upheld by both students and staff. A truly professional front desk would have de-escalated the situation and shown a willingness to understand the client's perspective, rather than immediately placing blame. The student went to the area where the other students were to gossip about it and try to gain consensus. While I appreciate the learning environment a cosmetology school provides, this incident highlights a significant gap in the application of crucial customer service and professional conduct. I hope this feedback can be used constructively to improve future client experiences. Building a Clientele (Even as a Student): Even in school, you'll be working on real people. If you provide excellent service, those clients are more likely to return, recommend you to others, and potentially become your future clients once you graduate and are fully licensed. Reputation: Your reputation starts forming the moment you begin working with clients. A good reputation for customer service will follow you throughout your career. Conversely, a reputation for being dishonest or having a poor personality can be very difficult to overcome. Being Nice and providing Grace goes a long way. I have to add that I posted sn amazing review in the past this year and Ms. Shelly was Amazing. She still is Amazing giving the magnitude of work she does and her school responsibilities. I had to memorialize my opinion for lessons learned purposes.
